Music Minute - Tracy Lawrence at Ryman Auditorium (5/18, Nashville)

 

Country music icon and philanthropist Tracy Lawrence rings in his birthday today in a big way, announcing his headlining show at the historic Ryman Auditorium on Sunday, May 18 in Nashville, Tenn., with special guests to be announced. The show date marks a little over one year since his headline Ryman debut show on May 4, 2024, which drew in a sold-out crowd. Presale starts 1/28 at 10 a.m. local time with general onsale beginning this Friday (1/31) at 10 a.m. local time. Tickets can be purchased here.   “Every chance I've had to perform at the Ryman Auditorium has been a one-of-a-kind experience, filled with an unmatched energy,” said Lawrence. “It's an honor to return with the band to that stage after the incredible night we shared with the sold-out audience last year.”   Lawrence had a massive 2024 of touring – in addition to his sold-out Ryman show, he headlined countless shows across the country, including hosting his own “Tracy Lawrence and Friends” show during CMA Fest at Ascend Amphitheater. He joined Riley Green on the road as well as Luke Bryan for his Wrigley Field tour stop, wrapping up the year playing with Lainey Wilson in Las Vegas during NFR weekend. Fans can expect the same from the road warrior this year as more headline shows are announced.   The philanthropist saw another successful year for his Mission:Possible charity, donating over $430,000 in 2024 alone. Adding to his annual golf tournament and turkey fry events, Lawrence launched his very own all-natural injectible marinade, available now on his website with select proceeds benefiting the charity. Named “Tracy Lawrence's All-Natural Injectible Marinade,” the product comes in cajun and creole butter flavors and boasts being gluten free, no seed oil, no artificial ingredients, no MSG and no sugar. Lawrence joined FOX & Friends to speak about the marinade, see the segment here.    Last year's turkey fry set a new record of turkeys distributed, providing over 25,000 meals to those in need across Middle Tennessee. The benefit concert, which featured performances by Lawrence, Russell Dickerson, Meghan Patrick, John Schneider and Halfway To Hazard, raised over $250,000 for the third year in a row.
